Henshin took a deep breath. He was the Sect Master of the Three Ultimates, and he didn't need anyone's recognition. He had earned this position with his own strength. However, Lu Yin's words were forcing him to express his stance. If he agreed, it would be the same as acknowledging Lu Yin's authority as a representative of the heavens.
If he didn't agree, he would no longer be the Sect Master.
This wasn't the era of the Above Heaven, and the stronger the Sect Masters were, the better. However, if Henshin didn't agree, he would be stripped of his position and replaced by someone else. There were only so many Half-Ancestors in the Human Domain, and there were no external enemies. It didn't matter who became the Sect Master.
"Alright." Henshin agreed in the end. His greatest strength was his ability to recognize the situation.
The reason he had controlled the Aurora Corporation was because he could see the changes that microarray technology would bring to the future. Now, he could see Lu Yin's influence on the current era. If he didn't agree, he would be a nobody in this era.
Lu Yin was satisfied. He didn't have much of a grudge against Henshin, and this person wasn't his enemy. They just had different standpoints, and there would definitely be conflicts in the future.
He then looked at Jueyi. "What about you?"
Jueyi frowned. He was different from Henshin. Once he acknowledged Lu Yin, not only would he lose his authority in the Above Heaven, but he would also lose his status as the Death God's successor. He finally understood why Lu Yin had caused trouble for him.
Lu Yin had displayed Progenitor Chen's decisive power, so Jueyi had no choice but to agree.
Lu Yin glanced at the Nine Luminaries.
The Nine Luminaries bowed slowly. Even a Half-Ancestor had to respect Lu Yin. Power determined everything.
"It seems like no one has any objections to this junior representing the heavens. Since that's the case, this junior is now officially a Daoist of the Above Heaven Sect. At the same time," Lu Yin glanced at all the Half-Ancestors and raised his sword, "I have the authority to represent the Primogenitors in this world."
Henshin exhaled. Lu Yin's words were a showdown. In the future, Lu Yin would have the authority to make decisions in the Above Heaven Sect.
"Lock up Ni Huang, Xia De, Old Whitehead, Wang Si, and Xia Ji," Lu Yin said after confirming his status.
Everyone was shocked. Was he going to capture five Half-Ancestors at once?
Ni Huang's expression changed, as she hadn't expected Lu Yin to be so crazy. How many Half-Ancestors did humans have?
"Lu Yin, are you trying to avenge your personal grudge?"
Wang Si barked.
Lu Yin glanced at them coldly. "Everyone, please behave yourselves. Otherwise, I don't know when you'll ambush me."
"Daozi, the five Half-Ancestors didn't do anything to betray the human race. It's not appropriate to directly capture them," Hen Xin said. These five were all from the Three Ultimates Heavenly Gate, and he knew that Ni Huang and the others were not on good terms with Lu Yin. However, he had not expected Lu Yin to directly capture them.
"Do you mean that it's fine as long as they threaten my safety?"
He had never believed that she would actually listen to him just because she had acknowledged him. It was unrealistic.
"If it's a threat to Daozi's safety, of course we can't let it go." Fate Maiden looked at Ni Huang and the others.
Ni Huang and the others exchanged glances and prepared to strike. They would not allow themselves to be trampled on.
However, before they could even make a move, the Blood Ancestor had already subdued them. Although the Blood Ancestor was unable to regain the strength of an Ancestor, his strength had already surpassed that of a Half-Martial Ancestor. He should be somewhere between the Half-Martial Ancestor and the Ancestor realm. With his sudden attack, coupled with Lu Buzheng, Elder Chan, and the others, there was no way Ni Huang and the others could escape.
"Lu Yin, Progenitor Chen is a member of my Xia family. You've obtained Progenitor Chen's power, but you've turned against my Xia family.
You will suffer retribution! "Xia Ji roared.
Lu Yin ignored them and instead said to the Blood Ancestor, "Thank you, Senior." When the Blood Ancestor had been about to leave, Lu Yin had sent him a transmission to ask for his help in dealing with Ni Huang and the others. It was precisely because of this that the Blood Ancestor had suddenly launched a sneak attack. Ni Huang and the others had not been able to react in time and had been injured. Otherwise, unless Lu Yin had used Progenitor Chen's power, Earth would have been destroyed even if he had managed to capture them.
The Blood Ancestor smiled. "It's a small matter. I'm really leaving this time, and I'll help you lock these fellows up."
"Thank you, Senior." Lu Yin was once again grateful.
"Try to treat them well. After all, they've contributed to the human race over the past twenty years," the Blood Ancestor transmitted before he left. This was not something that could be said openly.
Lu Yin understood.
Hen Xin looked at Lu Yin deeply. This person's thoughts were profound, and he was indeed someone who manipulated power in this era. He had not expected the Blood Ancestor to stay behind and launch a sneak attack. "Daozi, losing five Half-Martial Ancestors in one go is a huge blow to the Human Domain."
Lu Yin did not mind. "They didn't belong here in the first place. They came here to deal with me. Don't you know that?"
Hen Xin did not say anything else. Lu Yin had just taken power, and the situation was still unclear. He did not believe that Lu Yin would kill Ni Huang and the others. Even if Lu Yin wanted to, Lu Buzheng and the others would not agree to it. After all, they were Half-Martial Ancestors.
This Tianmen Convention ended quickly, and it was confirmed that the next Tianmen Convention would be held in one year instead of five years.
The next Tianmen Convention would also be the fourth one, as it was considered a continuation of this one.
Lu Yin had dealt with the Eternals and imprisoned five Half-Martial Ancestors, which had brought about a huge change to the Human Domain's structure. Many of the things that had been discussed before the Tianmen Convention were now null and void. This one year was just a buffer, and the real Tianmen Convention would be held in a year's time. This year was also an opportunity for Lu Yin to resolve some matters for himself.
…
On the Ancestral Tortoise's back, Lu Yin stared at the enormous Above Heaven Sect. No one knew what he was thinking.
Elder Chan walked out. "The threat of the Eternals has been dealt with, so the Above Heaven Sect doesn't necessarily have to be here. Although I don't understand the real Above Heaven Sect, I presume that it would be much more glorious than this one."
Lu Yin replied, "Yes, I've seen it before."
Elder Chan was astonished. "You've seen the real Above Heaven Sect?
Right, when you traveled through spacetime? "
Lu Yin nodded and looked in the direction of the Innerverse. "Without the Sky Pillar, the Above Heaven Sect is no longer there. One day, when the Sky Pillar at the entrance of the Starfall Sea is retrieved, the Above Heaven Sect will truly appear."
"I can only count on you. I believe that you can do it." Elder Chan sighed.
Lu Yin looked at him. "Senior, how much do you know about the Lu family?"
Elder Chan was puzzled. "Why do you ask?"
Lu Yin replied, "Since Senior's Three Suns Ancestor was angered by the Lu family, why did you have a grudge against me because of my status in the Lu family? Was it because the Lu family gave up on the Fifth Mainland?
Did they move the Mother Tree away? "
Elder Chan looked at the Above Heaven Sect that was still under construction. "How much do you know?"
"I saw some things when I traveled through spacetime, but I didn't pay much attention to them. Now that I've seen Senior, I've figured out some things."
"What things?"
Elder Chan was curious.
Lu Yin thought about it. "The process of the Lu family giving up on the Fifth Mainland."
Elder Chan's eyes widened. "You saw it too?"
Lu Yin and Elder Chan exchanged glances. "There was also a youth."
Elder Chan
Elder Chan was stunned and then laughed. "That's right, that youth was me. You should have seen two other people besides me. More accurately, one was a human and the other."
"An Ancient God," Lu Yin answered.
Elder Chan had a complicated expression. "Yes, an Ancient God and a direct descendant of the Lu family. Since you guessed that the youth was me, then you should understand why I had a grudge against you from the start. The Lu family is responsible and willing to take on the responsibility of resisting the Eternals, even if it means being cursed by the Fifth Mainland. But at the same time …" He paused and stared at Lu Yin. "The Lu family also has a traitor."
"Every large family has more than one direct descendant, and the Lu family is the same. I didn't know which side you belonged to at first, especially when you united the Innerverse and Outerverse and displayed great ambition. From what I can see, this ambition is different from that of a pure Lu family member. Although the Lu family controls the Fifth Mainland, they rely on their strength and not their methods."
"So Senior suspects that I'm related to the Lu family's traitor?"
Lu Yin asked.
Elder Chan did not deny it. "The Four Way Scales exiled the Lu family, but you went to the Fifth Mainland. Why?
How could the Four Way Scales let you go?
Your existence might cause chaos in the Cosmic Tree Realm, which is a good thing for the Eternals. That makes it even more likely that you're a descendant of the Lu family's traitor. "
Lu Yin smiled bitterly. "Yes, I'm not like a pure Lu family member who's good at playing tricks. My existence might cause internal strife, so what am I if not a traitor?"
Elder Chan sighed. "Of course, these are all just suspicions. When you took over the war against the Astral Beast Domain, these suspicions diminished. If you really were a traitor, then there would be no need for you to do such a thing. I support you not only because you care about humanity, but also because traitors would never do such a thing."
Lu Yin understood. "Senior, have you never suspected that I might have taken over the war against the Astral Beast Domain just for you to see?"
"I did, but everything is under control. So what if you unify the Innerverse and Outerverse? So what if you unify the Neoverse? I'm confident that I can suppress everything."
Lu Yin nodded. "Three Yangs Ancestral Qi. With Senior's strength, you can fight against the Twelve Elysium Sect Masters from the Above Heavens era. Suppressing me would be easy."
"That was in the past, but it can't be suppressed now." Elder Chan smiled bitterly. "If you really are a descendant of the Lu family's traitor and have reached this point, then this is the fate of humanity. No one can stop it."
Lu Yin smiled. "But I'm not a traitor."
Elder Chan laughed. "That's why it's a blessing for humanity, hahaha."
"What's so funny?"
Kui Luo came over curiously.
Lu Yin replied, "Elder Chan is telling me a joke."
"Him?"
Kui Luo was puzzled and looked at Lu Yin with disdain. "You're too old to tell jokes. Don't laugh until you lose your teeth."
Elder Chan glared at Kui Luo. "Watch your words. Don't get slapped one day."
Kui Luo sneered. "The one who can slap me hasn't been born yet."
"It looks like you want to test my Three Yangs Ancestral Qi."
"Old thing, I think you're getting ahead of yourself."
Lu Yin smiled as he watched the two bicker. With the threat of the Eternals removed, Elder Chan was in a particularly good mood and seemed to be in high spirits. "Senior, if the New Void Corridor is reconnected, you might be able to attempt to break through."
Elder Chan was stunned, and his eyes lit up. "That's right, I'll try. I've had too many things to worry about in the past, but I've left them all to you. It's time for me to do my own things."
Kui Luo raised his head. "Compete?
This old man will definitely break through before you. "
